Common questions about student loan services websites

Can I charge upfront fees for student loan help?

No. The FTC Telemarketing Sales Rule prohibits advance fees for debt relief services, including student loan modification. Borrowers can access all federal programs for free at studentaid.gov.

Can I use government-like branding?

Absolutely not. Using government seals, eagle imagery, or ".gov-like" domain names to imply government affiliation is a federal crime under 18 U.S.C. 709 and 1017. The DOE and FTC actively target this.
